SEWERAGE SYSTEMS,

With reference to the discuss on in Min
neapolis council committee of the sewerage
estimates, the fact should not be lost sight
of that city can commit no graver mis-
take than to favor short-sighted economy
in the matter of constructing sewage
mains. Upon the completeness of the
sewerage system depends, in a great meas
IRE, the health of a city. 1t is no economy
to save q few thousand dollars through the
construction of cheap sewers, or the non
construction of others where they are
needed, if through such action the death
rate is to be doubled and the doctors bills
quadrupled. Minneapolis especially has
need to be generous in the respect of
building extensive and perfect mains
Lying. for the most part. upon a level
there is more than ordinary difficulty to
perfect a satisfactory system of drainage.
In st. Paul, with her amphitheatre-lik
location, there is much less difficulty.
But neither can afford to be mig
gardly in the matter of appropriations
for sewer building. The system of neither
is extensive enough to meet the require
mentS as they should be met The rapid
growth of the two cities compels provision
for the immediate future as We'll as the
present, and the necessity should be intelli-
gently recognized in appropriations which,
though seemingly eXtravagant. are only
sufficiently large to meet the eXigencieS of
the case. Other cities no larger than ST.
Paul and Minneapolis have shown by large
expenditures that they appreciate this fact.

Not Without Wisdom or Ambition.
ROyalton Banner

Speaker Merriam has displayed unusual
ana almost unaccountable wisdom in the ap-
Polntmant of the committees of the house.
Inc Sauk Centre Tribune, which is trying
hard to climb over into the Democratic camp,
grumbieS at what it terms d complete sur
render of the country interests to those of
the city, in electing Merriam speaker. From
the status of the committees, we should
rather remark that Speaker Merriam is not
without either wisdom or ambition. He has
apparently conceded everything important
to the country members. Nothing indicates
Shls more thoroughly than the appointment of
Donneliy as chairman of the railroad com
nIttee. His recognition of this portion of
the state was liberal as well as polite We
are satisfied, and that is saying good deal
for US.

The Value of Interviewing.

fHlllp ". hubert, Jr.
There is one aspect of the modern inter-
view which people who, as moralists or as
victims rail at the whole institution. fail to
do more than touch upon. The interview
has serious use. In an age IN which life
is constantly likened to battle. so fierce is
the competition for place and so hot the
race for money, what do the captains of the
conflict have to tell the world of their tri-
umphs or defeats-often matters of import
to thousands OF people and of interest to
the whole nation? The men who act are
to-day. more than ever before. not the 1nan
who write. The man who Yields millions
of dollars, upon whose policy and practice
may depepend the price of bread for
months to come. has often no other con-
ception of literary composition than tele-
graphic dispatch, and in cipher at that
The interviewer may perhaps get from
such a man information of value to whole
communities.
